Sea World of Beasts: The Sinful Mermaid - She's a Heartthrob

Chapter 8 Whale Shark Chieftain
Xichong left with his two orc followers.

The Black Butterfly Orc, who hadn't dared to utter a word, began to sigh repeatedly, his face filled with despair. "Sigh, I hope he didn't hold a grudge against me..."

He looked dejectedly at Chao Sheng and Bai Ni, "You two should take the pearls and leave quickly."

"I'll sell you the pearls, so don't make things difficult for me!"

Chao Sheng looked at the lifeless-looking Black Butterfly Shell Beastman with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean by this?"

The Black Butterfly Orc looked at the puzzled Chao Sheng, lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and then said to Chao Sheng, "Xichong is the younger brother of the Whale Shark Clan Chief. If we offend him, I'm afraid the Whale Shark Clan will not easily sell the Sea Spirit Ginseng to us."

The Whale Giant Tribe is also the overlord of the polar seas. The weak Black Butterfly Orcs can't afford to offend either side, so they can only pray in their hearts that they can be kind to them.

The Black Butterfly Orcs have suddenly lost their luster; the Black Pearl has lost its shine.

Chao Sheng felt a pang of sadness, her bright purple eyes dimmed, and she looked at the Black Butterfly Beastman with deep apology, saying sincerely, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that."

"If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to come to me."

“Okay.” The Black Butterfly Orc casually agreed, taking it as just a polite remark. What could a female exiled to the polar seas possibly do for him?

……

The treasure hunt was more than halfway over, and there were already quite a few orcs on the island who were getting along well.

Bai Pei and Bai Qi smiled knowingly as they watched Chao Sheng and Bai Ni approach, carrying a bag of pearls.

The beastmen were discussing animatedly when Elder Whale Shark stepped onto the stage.

"Alright, now it's time to go to the various tribes to buy our Sea Spirit Ginseng."

“Each tribe contributes crystal coins, and we will distribute the Sea Spirit Ginseng to you according to the amount of crystal coins you contribute.”

Many tribes called out the number of crystal coins, and Elder Whale Shark directed the orcs to distribute the Sea Spirit Ginseng little by little.

The sea spirit ginseng, which looks like a green radish, has gradually been distributed to various tribes. The beastmen are all looking at this treasure, which is said to be able to cleanse the spiritual sea, with curiosity.

“We’ll offer five hundred crystal coins,” Bai Pei shouted.

"Give five to the Whale Giants..." Elder Whale Shark was directing the orcs to give five Sea Spirit Ginseng to the Whale Giant tribe when he was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"No!" A cold and beautiful female stepped onto the stone platform. Her graceful body was wrapped in fine beaded gauze, vaguely revealing her beautiful abs. Her face was expressionless and extremely cold.

She looked coldly in the direction of the Whale Giant Tribe and said, "We will not sell Sea Spirit Ginseng to the Whale Giant Tribe."

Bai Pei's gentle brows furrowed, and she asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Xi Zhi looked at Chao Sheng standing in the whale tribe, her eyes filled with obvious dissatisfaction and hostility. "The sea spirit ginseng is ours. We can sell it to whomever we want, or we won't sell it to whomever we don't want!"

Xi Zhi is the chieftain of the whale shark clan in the polar seas. Unlike other beastmen who are divided into several tribes, all whale shark beastmen live together in a clan.

Xi Chong had a minor disagreement with them, which Xi Zhi knew about, but she didn't really take it to heart.

But what really bothered her was that the female Xi Chongxin was interested in was Ru Sui from the Mad Shark tribe, and they were going to get married after this treasure hunt. This outsider mermaid had angered the Mad Shark tribe, and she felt she had the right to be the older sister.

Upon hearing this, Bai Pei's face immediately darkened. Although she looked down on that so-called Sea Spirit Ginseng, no beastman in the polar sea had ever dared to humiliate her like this.

She remained serious and calm, saying, "Of course Chief Xizhi can refuse to sell to us."

“However…” Bai Pei paused threateningly, “I hope you can always have such good things, and not have them robbed or stolen one day.”

"I wonder if Chief Xizhi will still be able to speak with such confidence then?"

Over the years, Bai Pei has led the whale tribe and rarely clashed with other tribes, almost making people forget the lethal power of their orcas in the ocean.

Xi Zhi's eyes were gloomy, and her cold and beautiful features exuded a chilling aura. "Chief Bai is indeed powerful, but he should also know the principle of being outnumbered."

The atmosphere on the island was frozen, so heavy that people dared only breathe softly, fearing that the war waged by these important figures would affect them.

If the Sea Spirit Ginseng is truly effective, then it's unique. It's highly likely that Xizhi will use it to incite other orcs to fight against the Whale Giant Tribe. Bai Pei lowered her head in silence, naturally understanding this as well.

Seeing Bai Pei get the short end of the stick, Chao Sheng felt a sudden chill in her heart. She wasn't stupid; the cause of this conflict was probably still related to her.

She liked Bai Pei, an elder, and moreover, she had already made up her mind to marry Bai Ni as her beast husband, so she should help the whale tribe.

Chao Sheng raised her head, her gaze meeting Xi Zhi's cold and arrogant expression with unwavering determination. "Besides the Sea Spirit Ginseng, there is another treasure that can purify the polluted spiritual sea."

Since this is an ocean world, medicinal herbs that originally grow in the sea should also be found here.

She didn't want to reveal that she possessed magical powers, but she could think of a way to help the orcs purify their spiritual seas and, incidentally, dampen the arrogance of this whale shark chieftain.

In my hazy memory, the image of a green-leaved seaweed vaguely emerges.

"Ha!" Xi Zhi looked at her disdainfully, as if she had heard a joke. She looked at Chao Sheng arrogantly, "Oh, so you knew that such a treasure would be driven out by the merfolk?"

The wicked mermaid is lying again, but unfortunately, she won't believe such a clumsy lie.

Chao Sheng lowered her eyes and said calmly, "If you don't believe me, you're welcome to come and try me."

Xi Zhi twitched the corner of her mouth. No wonder this kind of female, who was full of lies, was abandoned by her own tribe and became a sinner exiled to the polar seas.

Her eyes were cold, with a hint of mockery. "You won't even say what it is? How are we supposed to believe you?"

"Why aren't you answering me? What is it?"

"Is your lie still not ready?"

Indeed, I haven't thought it through. There are many herbs that can purify, but not all of them can be found in the polar seas. However, Chao Sheng didn't show it on her face and replied calmly and gently, "If you don't want to believe it, then don't believe it. I'm just giving everyone another option."

Then Chao Sheng looked at the groups of orcs standing there, his gaze lingering slightly on the most remote Black Butterfly Shell orcs. His voice was soft and convincing, “If any orcs who couldn’t buy Sea Spirit Ginseng are willing to trust me, they can ask me to help them purify their spiritual sea.”

With a sharp narrowing of his eyes, Xi Zhi looked at her with a sinister gaze, "Are you trying to steal my business?"

"Okay, then I'll set another rule from now on."

"Any orc who wants to buy sea spirit ginseng must not go to this mermaid. And those who have gone to this mermaid must not come to our whale shark clan to buy sea spirit ginseng."

As soon as Xizhi finished speaking, almost everyone responded. The silent beastmen immediately widened their eyes upon hearing this and fawned over Xizhi to show their loyalty.

"Chief Xizhi, buying sea ginseng is enough for us."

"Exactly! Who would believe her? She's a shameless slut; she can't possibly tell the truth!"

"They won't even tell us what it is, yet they claim it can purify the spiritual sea. That's ridiculous..."

A figure slowly walked up from the Mad Shark Tribe. Ru Sui stepped onto the stone platform and stood next to Xi Zhi. Although she was not as beautiful as Xi Zhi, her dark and bright eyes held a stubbornness, her lips were turned down, and she had a special spirit.

"Our Kuangsha tribe will set an example and from now on only use the sea spirit ginseng provided by the Whale Shark tribe."

"As for anyone who believes this sinful woman and goes to her to purify their spiritual sea, they are going against our Mad Shark Tribe!"

Among the beastmen, Ru Yao was full of disapproval and shouted anxiously to stop her, "Ru Sui!" Since childhood, her intuition had been more sensitive than that of ordinary beastmen. Now she had a sense of unease. That mermaid must be extraordinary! Moreover, if Bai Ni really married her, she would become a fifth-tier female beastman.

Ru Sui turned around and silently glanced at Ru Yao. The image of Ru Tong's tragic death flashed through her mind. "If you won't avenge Ru Tong, then I will!"

She looked at Chao Sheng with hatred and said, "This wicked woman killed my sister Ru Tong. From now on, she is the enemy of our Mad Shark tribe!"

Her face was contorted with rage as she stared intently at Chao Sheng, telling her that this was not over!
Unfriendly gazes, sharp as knives, pierced Chao Sheng's body, her back stabbed with sharp blades. Chao Sheng faced the judgment of the beastmen alone.

"She actually killed a precious unmarried female?!"

"How wicked! No wonder the Mermaid King exiled them here..."

"This kind of female never tells the truth. Luckily, I didn't believe her earlier!"
